Explain in the simplest way possible how you would find the following volumes or capacities with a spirometer.
-Tidal volume
-Expiratory reserve volume
-Inspiratory reserve volume
-Vital Capacity
Tidal volume:normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation when extra effort is not applied.or.volume of air moved into and out of lungs during each ventilation cycle.
Expiratory reserve volume: Additional amount of air that can be expired from lungs after normal expiration.
Inspiratory resrve volume:Additional amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inspiration.
Vital capacity:Maximum amount of air a person can expel from lungs after a maximum inhalation.It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume,tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume.
